George Strait–Codigo

The most shocking and disappointing of these comes from George Strait.

A Texas legend, Country Music Hall of Famer, and San Antonio resident, this childish song has unimaginative lyrics dedicated to his overpriced tequila, Codigo.

Even with a slightly toe-tapping melody, the song still feels phoned in.

Frankly, we expected better from King George.

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

I own an overpriced tequila,

How ’bout you?

These jingles put smiles on our faces.

Dan & Shay–Tequila

By far, the most beloved song of 2018 belongs to this country duo. It has a catchy tune with a memorable hook, but it’s still not perfect.

The video has an engaging story, and a tastefully done Dulce Vida tequila product placement.

An underage sorority girl hooks up with a deaf/mute guy at a ski resort in Colorado. He suspiciously looks like he belongs to a terrorist cell. Along the way, we learn sign language for the word tequila, and that her date likes to drink Dulce Vida from a flask.

But, just as the couple is getting cozy, for some mysterious reason, her guy has an urgent need to leave for Utah.

Four long years later, they haven’t changed a bit.

He’s still driving the same beat up truck, and is up to no good. She still looks too young to be legally behind the stick serving drinks.

3BallMTY & Chayin Rubio–Tequila

This is a cool joint with an infectious beat that is refreshingly NOT country music.
